Antony Blinken
Washington D.C./08.09.23/Turan: U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken spent his second day in Ukraine visiting sites in the country, saying he was struck by the horrific human cost of Russia's aggression there.
After visiting the Yahidne School, a former elementary school whose basement held Ukrainian hostages during Russia's occupation of that village and has since been converted into a museum, America’s top diplomat said seeing the small room where people were tortured gave the war's casualty figures a human dimension, TURAN's Washington correspondent reports.
Meanwhile, in Washington, the Pentagon announced on Thursday an additional $600 million military package for Ukraine, just a day after Blinken's $1 billion announcement.
Included in the latest package is funding for equipment to sustain and integrate Ukraine’s air defense systems, ammunition for HIMARS, artillery rounds, electronic warfare and counter-electronic warfare equipment, demolition munitions and mine-clearing equipment, as well as for training and maintenance, according to the Pentagon.
